Phoenix Homes
Distinction
In ancient mythology, the Phoenix was believed to be a symbol of immortality, or of reborn idealism or hope. In modern times, the Phoenix is the symbol for unsurpassed beauty or excellence, no equal or match. At Phoenix Homes, we build custom homes. Homes we feel have the quality of excellence, no equal or match.
We use Quality, Value, and Distinction as our guidelines for a good reason. To provide you, the homeowner, with the distinctive home you want, with the finest quality materials and methods of construction, at a price which gives you value both at purchase time, and at the time of resale.
“A home is only as good as the
foundation”, we have all heard this.
We use only fully engineered rebar foundations as the base of our homes. Our area of the Coastal Bend has a lot of clay soil, which expands and contracts according to the moisture content. Wet clay soil swells, dry clay soil shrinks dramatically. This soil movement is very hard on a foundations and tends to cause cracks and separation. Rebar is the engineer’s choice on the sandy areas of the coast, also. Most builders use a post tension cable foundation. This puts the slab under stress from the beginning. Post tension cable foundations are significantly less in cost to construct. This is one reason it is so popular with other builders. Phoenix Homes believes “A home is only as good as the foundation.”
Framing
is another area where we “put more meat on the bones”. All builders have to conform to the building
codes and frame the walls on 16” centers.
But that is where most builders stop.
The ceiling joists and roof rafters are changed to 24” centers, or the
minimum to stay in compliance with the building code. Phoenix Homes continues with 16” centers on the ceiling joists
and rafters. This is the frame needed
for the weight of a tile roof, for example.
The benefit for the homeowner is a stronger structure.
Although
Phoenix Homes is not the least expensive builder you can find, we feel we offer
the best value for your investment.
Value is achieved through the use of vinyl thermopane windows, custom
cabinets designed for each home, extra insulation, and upgraded appliances and
HVAC. Lower energy bills are the goal
in each home to save on monthly costs, increasing the value of your investment.
Distinction
A custom home should be just that………custom. Built for you, the homeowner. We work with you and the designer to create a plan that not only fits the site, but fits the occupants. We have a belief that “off the rack” is not what custom home buyers are looking for. A custom home should be what the owner wants and is willing to afford. Some builders do not allow change orders. Others charge a large amount of money, or application fee, to even consider a change order in an effort to eliminate them. We allow change orders at the cost of the change only, if that stage of construction is not affected; or plus a small fee, which is normally passed on to the workers for their trouble. Phoenix Homes is willing to work with the customer to help them get what they want, a home of distinction.

Bend area, we invite you to contact us about helping you fulfill your dream.
